Researchers conducted a survey in four metropolitan Chicago neighborhoods served by commuter rail to explore how residents’ travel preferences might change with the potential addition of (1) an automated community transit (shuttle) service to and from the station and (2) a package of streetscape improvements to facilitate walking and bicycling to the station. The neighborhoods differ in levels of population density, current rail use, land use, and affluence. By using a telephone and mail survey to determine residents’ current travel patterns and preferences with the potential improvements, agent-based modeling, and activity-based modeling, the researchers forecast a possible overall decrease in car use of 39 percent and an increase in commuter rail use of 34 percent with the improvements. The shuttle service produced greater changes in lower density neighborhoods, with forecast of transit use doubling in the lowest density neighborhood. Travelers’ perceptions of cost, time, and safety are explored, and the differences among communities’ responses to the improvements and their implications for the relative effectiveness of each potential improvement are discussed. This report summarizes the Exploratory Advanced Research Program project “Effects of Automated Transit and Pedestrian/Bicycling Facilities on Urban Travel Patterns.” The final project report is available at faculty-publications/effects-automated-transit-pedestrian-and-bicycling-facilities-urban.
